Okay, nothing unusual there. You haven't enabled HTTPS on port 9200 have you? ---

Hmm, So I am using another port , so it is not 9200 and it is open . LS was working fine from last 4 days , but it stopped today with this error . So is it something related to port ? I mean we get this error when communication breaks ? ---

You're _not_ using port 9200? Then you have to configure Logstash accordingly. ---

@magnusbaeck Sorry I did not mention , so in the output plugin i am using **host =\> "host:20002"** , So 20002 is the port I am hitting to .So what could be the problem ? ---
